nice

nice wheels, what size tires are you running?

get a some lowering springs to make the wheels suit the x5 a little better! H&R are good, or spend some coin and get coilovers but thats again costly, and somethin you dont want to do.....

Thanks man,
They are 285/35r/22. I agree! I think the H&R lowering springs will be my next mod. I herd that aftermarket springs may cause un-usual wear in the stock suspension. Is this true?

lowering springs

Normally any drop over 1.5" will beat up the OE shocks and struts badly, so best upgrade them while the truck is in the air !

Those are nice wheels. I would have to agree that a little lowering would make the proportions look better. Them some big shoes!

I can see some clear lights in your future.

Appreciate it man. Yes there is a gap about 1 - 1.5 inches to large.

There are clear lights in the future, I have started to shop around!
